Ronaldo Hernandez

AZ Catcher #59

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Diamondbacks signed C Ronaldo Hernández to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Considered one of the game’s best catching prospects five years ago, Hernández hasn’t impressed enough offensively or defensively in recent seasons to get a shot. The 26-year-old hit .242/.336/.445 for Boston’s Triple-A affiliate last season. He’ll likely go into spring training third or fourth on the D-backs’ catching depth chart.

Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Braves’ outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

All things considered, that’s the best possible news that the Braves and fantasy managers could hear right now. He was going to miss more than a few days with the injury, which is why the Braves opted to place him on the injured list on Sunday, but it doesn’t sound like he should be looking at an extended absence.

Eric Wagaman

NYM 1st Baseman #39

Mets designated 1B/OF Eric Wagaman for assignment.

Wagaman had just been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and now he loses his spot on the club’s 40-man roster as well as the Mets had to make room for Vidal Bruján on Sunday. It’s possible that the 28-year-old slugger could attract some interest on waivers.

Vidal Bruján

NYM 3rd Baseman #2

Mets selected the contract of INF/OF Vidal Bruján from Triple-A Syracuse.

With Ronny Mauricio heading to the injured list with a fractured thumb and Francisco Lindor (calf) already stationed on the injured list, the Mets’ depth at the shortstop position is running woefully thin. It’s unclear if Bruján will see the bulk of the action there or if Bo Bichette will slide over from third base in the interim while Brett Baty covers the hot corner.

Ronny Mauricio

NYM Shortstop #0

Mets placed INF Ronny Mauricio on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb fracture.

Mauricio sustained the injury while diving headfirst into first base during Saturday’s game against the Angels. No word yet on how long the Mets expect him to be sidelined for. Vidal Brujan was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday to take his place on the team’s active roster.

Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29
Cal Raleigh remained out of the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Royals.

We still have yet to receive word on exactly what’s ailing Raleigh, other than “general soreness”, though he did undergo an MRI exam after being scratched from the lineup on Saturday. Jhonny Pereda will start in his place behind the dish and will bat eighth for the M’s against Kris Bubic and the Royals on Sunday afternoon in Seattle.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

The Twins announced that Joe Ryan was removed from Sunday’s start against the Blue Jays in the first inning due to right elbow soreness.

That’s never what you want to hear. While the severity of the injury is not yet known, it’ll almost certainly mean a trip to the injured list for the Twins’ ace. Fantasy managers should be sure to have an alternative option available for next week.

Germán Márquez

SD Starting Pitcher #33

Padres placed RHP Germán Márquez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 2, with right forearm nerve inflammation.

The expectation had been that Matt Waldron would get bumped from the Padres’ rotation to accommodate the return of Griffin Canning on Sunday, but with Márquez heading to the injured list, he’ll get to stick around a bit longer. No word yet on the severity of the injury or how long they expect the 31-year-old hurler to be shelved for.

Griffin Canning

SD Starting Pitcher #17

Padres activated RHP Griffin Canning from the 15-day injured list.

As expected, Canning will make his Padres’ debut on Sunday against the White Sox. He only threw 15 innings over five minor league rehab starts at Triple-A El Paso, so it’s possible that his workload could be limited initially upon his return. German Marquez (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan was removed from Sunday’s start against the Blue Jays after throwing just nine pitches due to an apparent injury.

Ryan delivered a fastball to Kazuma Okamoto and immediately felt something and called for the training staff. After a brief discussion, he was pulled from the game. All Twins’ fans and fantasy managers can do now is wait and hope for the best. The Twins should have an update on his status soon. Stay tuned.

Luis Morales

ATH Starting Pitcher #19

Athletics optioned RHP Luis Morales to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Morales has been knocked around in three appearances with the A’s this season, posting a miserable 14.46 ERA, 3.11 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 7/12 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings. He’ll attempt to work through his command issues at the minor league level.
